There is crazy flight traffic over Florida as airlines hurry to get people out before Hurricane Irma arrives

Air traffic in Florida is reaching new levels as people in the state try to escape before Hurricane Irma hits.

Airports in the state, including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Key West International Airport, will begin shutting down on Friday afternoon and remain closed on Saturday and Sunday. Orlando International Airport plans to cease operations by 5 p.m. on Saturday.

While Miami International Airport has not officially announced its closing, many airlines are ceasing operations there on Friday afternoon.

As these shutdowns approach, airlines are trying to get as many people out as possible by reshuffling resources to add more flights out of Florida.
